Location: Unknown
Scene: Unknown
Stardate: 2.80518.1404

Katlina Gorman checked her security measures once more and then when she was
finally sure she was untraceable pressed a button.

"Jeff, hey, it's me." She managed a small smile and hoped that she was in
enough shadow that he couldn't see the bags under her eyes or just how pale
she was looking. "I'm not sure if anyone will be in touch with you, I'm
officially AWOL. I left the MAC with, something, the less you know the
better."

She paused and stretched. "The kids are with dad, they're safe but if you
want them with you…well I think they would like that. So get in touch. Dad
has orders if Starfleet get too tough on the kids he's to disappear with
them."

She leaned forwards and kissed the monitor sadly. "I love you, and I love
the kids. But I have to do this. I'll be in touch when I can."

She closed the comm. Link and leaned back in her chair. As she did a door
opened behind her and a small girl stepped out clutching a teddy. "Why did
we leave El'hron and the babies behind?"

Kat looked up and pulled the eight year old girl onto her knee she put her
cheek against her forehead. "Well they're going to spend some time with
their dad for a bit." Katlina Gorman lied easily and then smiled at the
founder. "Are you ready to go we need to leave now."

"I didn't unpack." The little girl admitted as she rose off Kat's knee,
"Where are we going?"

"To find a friend." Kat answered, "but first we need transport."

Location: CENTURY class vessel
Scene: corridors -> Jeffries tubes

Izzy and Urika moved slowly together, partly because the eVA suit she was
using wasn't made for a humanoid with a prehensile tail which made it
cramped and difficult to move and partly because Urika had her eyes glued to
her tricorder. "Wait." Urika finally spoke and paused midstep. "Where are
we?"

"A CENTURY class ship hanging in front of a black hole."

"Thank you." The Trill replied sarcastically. "I meant more locally, what
corridor where?"

"Not a clue." Izzy paused and found a  console on the wall, wiping away some
dust she stared at it for a minute. "Nope, no 'you are here' sign"

"I've got lifesigns."  Urika admitted, "Coming down this corridor."

"And you were worried about where we were why?"

The trill turned her head looking at Izshlana in amazement, "we're arguing
semantics?"

Izzy grinned and grabbed the trill's arm as she found what she was looking
for. She darted through a half open door. "Can you get the closing mechanism
to work?"

"We'll be trapped." Urika answered.

"It's a Starfleet vessel, there's always an access panel to jeffries tubes
somewhere." Izzy answered back. The scientist eventually turned and worked
on the panel as a clunking noise announced the approaching steps.

"Not humanoid." Izzy whispered over her shoulder. "It sounds more like four
feet." Her eyes and phaser were trained on the door as two tusky creatures
appeared, they stopped and sniffed the air, their eyes turning to the door
as they hissed shut.

Urika and Izzy looked at each other. "You saw them right?" Lieutenant Vort
asked the older woman who nodded. "Ever seen anything like them?"

This time the Trill shook her head. "Nothing." She answered softy. A bang
echoed around the room and Izzy had time to jump back as a tusk speared the
door. "Damn."

She turned around and found the access panel she was looking for, it only
took a minute before they were through and crawling. "Did I mention I hate
Jeffries tubes?" Urika's voice came from somewhere close to her feet.

Izzy smiled slightly "Everyone hates Jeffries tubes." She replied. "Just
keep moving, we just need to get to the docking hatch by the bridge."

"Right." Urika muttered.

Izshlana crawled forwards a bit further then stopped as she crawled into
something sticky, she sat back on her haunches and inspected the fingers of
her glove. "Eew." She muttered quietly.

Urika groaned. "Eew? What's Eew?"

"Spider webs,"

"Spiders in space?" urika paused, "izzy can we get out of these tubes."

"Next hatchway." Izzy promised as she carefully moved the webs out of the
way with her gloved hand and carefully started moving forwards.

NRPG: Sorry it's not very long and not all mission related. Margie gave me
permission to start to bring a friend home.
Margie: Not sure if it'll work but maybe the spider webs can be a way to do
what we discussed?

Ragy: Hope you still read my posts.
